About

I appreciate you taking a moment to learn more about who I am and what I can offer.

My professional journey began in high school, working in construction by day and hosting at a local radio station by night. Shortly after graduating, I entered the world of sales—starting with door-to-door floor care systems. That experience taught me the importance of authentic communication and how to succeed in sales without sounding like one.

A few years later, I transitioned into the merchant services industry, helping businesses across the U.S. accept credit card payments. Over the course of 17 years, I built and managed several successful client portfolios, which I later sold in 2015. During that time, I also developed skills in web development and domain investing—two areas that continue to fuel my work today.

Currently, I focus on managing my own digital projects, offering domain name consulting services, and maintaining an active portfolio of high-quality domain assets for acquisition and investment.

Throughout my career, I’ve been committed to integrity and results. I’m proud to have maintained a flawless record with the Better Business Bureau in the merchant services industry—a rare accomplishment in a competitive space. My clients have included national franchises, government agencies, major publications, and countless small businesses—all of whom I served with competitive pricing and exceptional support.

What I Do

Idea Development

I work closely with clients to refine raw thoughts into structured, purpose-driven strategies. Through research, creative analysis, and market alignment, I help identify core opportunities, anticipate challenges, and shape ideas into actionable frameworks. Whether you're starting from scratch or evolving an existing vision, I bring clarity, creativity, and strategic insight to ensure your idea is not only original—but built for impact.

Web Design

I offer professional web design services built on the power and flexibility of the WordPress content management system. By leveraging premium themes and industry-best practices, I deliver fully responsive, visually polished websites that are easy to manage and built to scale with your business. From layout customization to content integration, each site is tailored to reflect your brand and functionality goals. Whether you need a sleek portfolio, a business website, or a dynamic blog, I ensure your online presence is both professional and user-friendly—with the ability to easily update content as your needs evolve.

Domain Suggestion Services

My mission is to highlight the true value behind every domain I recommend, delivering results that are reflected in each client’s success story. When you hire me for domain suggestions, you're not just receiving a list of available names — you're gaining insight backed by research and strategy. I take the time to understand your project deeply and evaluate domain options based on key metrics such as SEO performance, memorability, brand appeal, length, phonetics, and overall utility.

Let's Connect

Whether you have a question, need expert domain suggestions, or are ready to start a project, I’d love to hear from you.
